Fifteen Minutes to Each Bill.

Over fifteen hundred bills have been intro

each bill to have careful consideration and

which bills have been introduced each one has
had about fifteen minutes consideration on an

occupied in the reading. Which is prefera-

the bill to create department of agriculture
and labor was killed by the inability of its
friends to send it to a conference commit
tee. About $50 bills and joint resolutions
which passed the house failed of action in
the senate, some of which were defeated by
adverse committee reports. The most i'm
portant of these are as follows:
To authorize the establishment of export
tobacco manufactures and for draw back
upon imported articles used in manufactnr-
ing exported tobacco; to terminate certain
Chinese treaty stipulations and prohibit the
Chinese immigration in the United States.
Many bills passed by the senate failed of
passage in the house. The Blair educa-

Dearborn park TO the city of Chicago The
Eads bill, the Nicaraguan canal bill, the
bill changing the date of Inauguration day,
and the bill to reimburse the Freedman's
bank depositors also failed. The following
measures of national importance failed of
action of an affirmative nature i'm either
house: The Morrison and other tariff bills,
which the house on test vote refused even
to consider. Various bills on the silver
question. Both ubranches of congress
exhaustively discussed this tonic. No
action was taken in the senate; the house
passed no measure on the subject, but
contented itself with voting down
a proposition for free silver coinage, and
for suspension of silver dollar coinage.
The Pacific railroad funding question: to
establish uniform bankruptcy law: the
Hennepin canal bill. the Oklahoma bill and
the Dunn free ship bill were all reported
from house committees and all failed to get
beyond the stage of general debate. Bills
to repeal the civil service law and to grant

CONTRACT LABOR.

The Denver News says the first case
which has arisen under the law forbidding
the importation of contract labor proves
singular and interesting. Eight English
women signed an agreement to work for a
year at a stated price, out Of which a
weekly stipulation was to be deducted 10
pay for passage money. They showed this
contract to the custom house officials, and
were refused permission to land. On a
hearing of the case it was shown that
these women were velvet weavers, and
were imported to introduce a new and
profitable industry into the country. As
there we're no persons vh9 lnderstoe9dd. the
quired a liberal const, uction of the law,
and they were permitted to land.
So, it SEEMS, the first shipment in strict
violation Of the new law proves to be a
positive benefit. Instead OF suffering from
the competition of these eight women,
American labor may cultivate an industry
the need Of which at the present takes
$3,OOO,O 900 a year out of the country. 1t
might be a good idea, in place OF warning
on foreign skilled labor, to adopt restrictive
measures against. a foreign population
which is a curse to the countrywide crimi-
nal and pauper elements OF older nations
and, worse yet, the social cranks of every
grade.

The Rocky Mountain Telegraph.

W. G. Conrad Of Fort Benton. in an in
terview in the st. Paul Pioneer Press re-
Gently, had this to say of one of our lead
ing citizens: Although Montana suffered in
the way OF stock interests last winter, her
mining interests are something marvellous.
Cold silver, copper, galena and coal in
abundance. W. A. Clark, the Butte
millionaire. has been spending some time
recently in Washington, New York and
Chicago, and while East closed a deal for
four million pounds of copper to an Eng
lish syndicate. In Chicago he contracted
for a million pounds of copper, His mills
and smelters both in Monts ma and New
Jersey are running their fullest
capacity to supply these demands.
Mr.. Clark is principal owner of the
Rocky Mountain Telegraph a
part OF the Bennett-Mackey cable and tele-
graph system. He has recently bought the
military lines in Montana running from
Helena to Fort Assinaboine. He immedi.
ately began a system of extensions from
Fort A~ssinaboine to Medicine Hat on the
Canadian Pacific road, which now only
lack ten miles of wire to make the connec.
ton complete from Helena to the East and
the cable company. This is an important
matter. as competitive rates are desired by
the heavy mining operators in Butte and
Helena and other points where there ia a
large amount of cable business with En-.
gland, amounting to thousands of dollarsa
week. Mr.. Clark is one OF the greatest
copper producers in Montana, and sends
large shipments Of copper to Washburn,
Moeh Co., IN Massachusetts,, who manu-.
iacture it into the No. IL wire used by the
Rocky Mountain Telegraph Compay. It ia
Mr.. Clark g intention to extend his lines tn
important points in Montana and
adjacent Territories. .

duced buyers to believe that the lake com

hand the extreme proximity to the export

all the surplus and cause the price to react
Meanwhile the casting brands have fallen
to OK and 9.35 and matters are in q for

ported to have b%oycotted the Anaconda

to sell it at a fiat price and not based on
Chill bars, the result of which is that the

many. 1t would be difficult to find any
where a more complete market of uncer-

price has fluctuated between
